A distant heavyweight boxing match in Venezuela becomes a fight for dignity, respect, and visibility for a small forgotten Colombian village in Felipe Holguin Caro’s rousing, heartfelt feature debut. Though Laureana (Elizabeth Martinez) yearns to enter the ring as a boxer, dreams can sometimes feel futile for a young Afro-Colombian girl growing up in town with no electricity and found on no map. But when she learns her estranged uncle will soon compete for a title on live television, Laureana teams up with a local boxing trainer Efrain (Antonio Jimenez) to convince her community that the fight is not merely uppercuts and ten counts on canvas, but a opportunity to believe a better life is possible again.
